Brig. Gen. E, Bendon, British commander in Berlin, will meet Maj. Gen. P. A. Kvashmin, Soviet water transport chief, in Berlin at noon tomorrow to seek a solution of the waterways dispute.
Regularly-scheduled buses have resumed trips between Hammover in the British zone of Germany and Berlin with German passengers for the first time since the blockade began this past June. Service was resumed Tuesday.
Under a truce arrangement, all barge traffic in the canals will continue without Russian interference in the -meantime. Armed British military police were ordered to stay on duty at the canal locks, along with Russian officers.
Soviet officers stationed at three locks in the British sector halted barges ferrying supplies brought into Berlin on the airlift Wednesday.
Britain told the Russians to get out or be put out. The Russians withdrew. They returned later, but made no attempt to interfere further with barge traffic.
In London, a British foreign office spokesman said a Big Four meeting on Germany is possible "even earlier than the end of June" if negotiations to end the blockade are successful.
Shanghai: Communist armies may have cut the last land escape route out of Shanghai. A National train from Hangchow was six hours overdue. At last reports Communist troops were only 10 miles from Kashing, a main station on that last railway line out of Shanghai. Other Communist spearheads were reported within 35 miles of Shanghai and 25 miles of Hangchow.
Manila: The Philippine constabulary sent 2,000 crack troops supported by planes and tanks into the Veuvaeja jills to track down the guerrillas who ambushed and killed Mrs. Manuel Quezon, widow of the first president of the Philippines, and 11 other persons Thursday.

Calcutta: At least eight persons were killed in Communist-inspired political rioting in which students tossed hand grenades at police.

obtained by doing stunts or singing but thisadding was of little use
All pledges gathered by the east entrance of Fraser hall at 7 p.m. This year ball bats were ruled out, and were replaced by boards. The pledges wore towels and blankets in the seats of their breeches to nullify the effect of boarding by the actives.
1,000,000 In Subversive Organizations Justice Department Officials Estimate
Washington-(U.P.)-About 1,000,000 Americans belong to Communist or other subversive organizations, justice department officials estimated today.
The original Ku Klux Klan was on the first subversive list issued by the department in December, 1947, for use in the government's loyalty program for federal employees.
These officials said no exact membership figures are available for the 160 groups the department regards as "subversive," or opposed to the
"I'm not surprised at anything (Attorney General) Tom Clark does," he said. "This is purely an arbitrary matter of Mr. Clark's department setting itself up as czar on this country."
"We have never been tried, we have never been accused and proven guilty of anything. Under our constitution, you are supposed to be considered innocent until proven guilty."
Membership by a government employee in any of the organizations listed as subservient does not mean automatic dismissal from the federal payroll. But it does mean that the employee involved will get more than a routine check by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
In Atlanta, Dr. Samuel Green,
Grand Dragon of the Klan, said he

ment. But they estimated the total
membership of the organizations at
"around a million or more."
The Communist party of the United States, with about 70,000 dues-payers, has the largest known membership of any of the groups.
The justice department issued a new supplement to its list yesterday. It named 38 organizations, including the new Association of Georgia Klans.
The federal loyalty program went into effect in 1947 on orders from President Truman. In that time, the loyalty of nearly 2,000,000 government employees has been checked. Civil Service commission officials estimate that 99.8 per cent of the federal workers already have been cleared of any suspicion of disloyalty.

Of the 160 organizations charged with being subversive, about 50 no longer are in existence. Officials said, however, that some 75 Communist-front organizations and schools and about 25 Fascist groups still are active.
